Building a Grouse Dog

Title

Building a Grouse Dog

Author

By Craig Doherty

Description

The most comprehensive, how-to manual there is for taking an eight-week-old little squirmer of any pointing breed and turning him or her into that most coveted game bird finder there is: a finished grouse dog. Grouse are notorious for their caginess, their wariness, and their difficulty in being pinned down so a hunter can get close enough to flush and shoot. It takes a dog that has been trained nearly from birth to handle that task, and no one knows how to do it better than PDJ columnist Craig Doherty, whose advice also gets you through the snags you'll encounter to finish the training.
182 Pages. Softcover.

Author

By David A. Webb

Description

These words of George Bird Evans capture what is at the heart of Empty Collars, a collection of writings about gun dogs, their owners, and the immutable bond between them. Losing a pet is never easy, and the connection between gun dog and owner seems to have an added intensity. Studies show that after losing a pet, owners need to go through the same stages of grief that they experience with any human loss. This anthology was created in an effort to provide empathy and comfort during this time.

Small Water Waterfowling

Author

By Chris Smith

Description

New Release! When it comes to actually shooting ducks and geese over water, the action is on the small places, inland lakes, ponds, potholes, floodings, creeks, and backwaters. Day in and day out, that's where the ducks are, and that's where Smith takes you. He lays out the different techniques, decoys, calling, gear, weather, dog skills, bird species, and expectations for these quiet and intimate spots. And in a sport where more is often viewed as better, Smith weaves personal hunting stories throughout, emphasizing the important role ethics play for the modern-day waterfowler, and how a full bag limit isn't the end goal but rather icing on the cake
